    Pardon my density but where's the pun? There have been lots of punning live album titles -- Love You Live, It's Alive, A Live and Well, etc. -- but I'm not seeing the pun in Poco's title.

    I liked that it being a live album, live is in Deliverin' and the font emphasised 'live' . Didn't think this was just for puns, but having fun or being clever with words. Yesterdays as a Yes compilation title I thought was good. Perhaps more graphics than wordplay, but the lettering for Gentle Giant Civilian

    Meh, not really a *pun*.

    How about Cluster's "Sowesoso" which is supposedly a wordplay in German.
